Its really a great set and I do need several copies for a future layout !!

I love the new parts: Irina nd Mutt's hairpiece, the bicolor ants.
The set is great with nice accessories and loads of weapons: I'm happy they included a golden katana in that set since I didn't have one yet.

The set as a whole looks great !!

I still have a few grips:
* another same Indy... G how many do we need ?
* no commie soldier. That is the worse IMO. We will already have Mutt and Irina in 2 other sets (7627 Temple of Kotor and 7628 Peril in Peru)
* the knives are dark bluish grey onstead of chrome (yeay I know about the cost reduction in sets...)

Mutt Williams, eh? I wonder what that does to the theories that Mutt was Indy and Marian Ravenwood's son?

Steve, who's going to swing by Walmart at lunch to look for some new sets...

I just saw this in the store today and was literally shivering. Thanks to my Dad for getting it for me with only a wee bit of grumbling. I didn't expect to see it in Singapore so soon! Here's the review.

For the smallest set in the awesome new Crystal Skull range, this one sure packs some punch! First of all, it's plenty value of money, containing three minifig representations of three of the main characters in the film. Irina Spalko and Mutt Williams also come with awesome new hairpieces. Also what's nice it that despite the relatively low piece count, this set looks like it includes quite a lot, which it does. It's always to see another of the very rare tents, and all the accessories add a very cute touch as well. The new spiders (or are they ants?), intricately desigined and amazingly coloured, look awesome, and it helps that there are three of them. The table that breaks in half during battle is a nice touch too, and unlike many sets this size, it doesn't look very thrown together. This is a must-have if you're on a relatively tight budget for all its admirable aspects._________________Ironic, huh.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but seemed the best place to ask this.

I am getting ready to splurge on an Indy impulse set. Which one do you guys think I should get: This one, or 7620 Motorcycle Chase? I will likely get the other one for Christmas. Thanks in advance._________________Am I the only one who sometimes comes here, logs in, and fools around?

Don't forget Motorcycle Chase also has the guard station and two of the new small cube-like crates (while Jungle Duel also has one of the older, larger crates, plus three ants).

I have one of each myself, and personally intend to get more of both. I might suggest that if one were planning on getting one of them now and the other in a few months, that one start with Motorcycle Chase, on the grounds that it's been out longer (and hence might be deemed more likely to be discontinued sooner) - and more importantly, it takes place first (Motorcycle Chase covers a scene in 1938, while Jungle Duel covers one - well, a variation of a scene, anyway - in 1957).

Well, I'm going to Wal-Mart this weekend. I intend to buy Jungle Duel, if they have it. I just thought that since this was the only set that I will get until Christmas, I want to get one with more central characters, and it seemed they had equal playability. I took both opinions into account, but I decided to take Flynn's advice. Thanks for responding!

(Note: I will tell you when I get it, and I may post a review.)_________________Am I the only one who sometimes comes here, logs in, and fools around?

Okayyyyyyyy, strike what I said in the previous post. I am getting neither. Why? Because I saw Peril in Peru leave S@H, so I grabbed it up quick on toysrus.com. It should come in 6-9 business days from now. I'll do a review if there isn't one yet.

P.S: Those who are afraid of my reviews because I include no pix, I will be sure to get a FlickR or Brickshelf THIS WEEKEND, before I get the set. I will then add pix to my other two reviews, MagnaGuard Starfighter and UCS AT-ST._________________Am I the only one who sometimes comes here, logs in, and fools around?
